Silent Retreat
Loyola University鈥檚 Weekend Silent and Five Day Retreats offers a chance for solitude, prayer and spiritual direction based in the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola. St. Ignatius was convinced of the profound value of taking some time away from the normal pursuits of our daily life, to enter into an encounter with God in the solitude and interior openness that a silent retreat affords.
These retreats offer elements of the Spiritual Exercises through presentations, periods
of quiet personal prayer and conversation with a spiritual director. Aside from meeting
with the spiritual director and participating in responses during Masses and other
common prayer, retreatants observe the great tradition of silence, including during
most meals. Mass is offered each day, as well as opportunity for the Sacrament of
Reconciliation.
These retreats are based in the Christian and Catholic tradition and are open to Loyola
undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff, of all faith traditions. An
application process is part of each retreat.
What participants are saying:
"I found new ways to listen for, and to open my eyes to, God's presence."
"One thing I learned about myself if the benefit silence can bring. I didn't fully
understand how God could speak to us in the quiet of life until I was in an atmosphere
that provided the chance."
"The spiritual directors and presenters provided words or materials I needed in the
moment, plus references I can look back on as I continue to build my prayer life."
